You can use the Vim7 location list feature to implement the
anonymous marks support.

Each Vim window can have a separate location list. You
can have more than one location list for a single window.

To add the current line and file to the location list, use the
":laddexpr" command:

  :laddexpr expand("%") . ":" . line('.') . ":" . ":" . getline('.')

To remove a location from the location list, get the location
list using the getloclist() function, remove the desired line
from the returned List and then set the location list using
the setloclist() function.

To browse the list of locations, use the various location
list commands like ":llist", ":lnext", ":lprevious", ":lnfile",
":lpfile", etc.

To switch between the location lists for a single window,
use the ":lolder" and ":lnewer" commands.
